I have a late 2016 P100D, and recently noticed that using the Ludicrous easter egg (either holding down the slider switch on Ludicrous+, or selecting the starfield animation from the easter egg launcher) no longer presents the green/red accept buttons, and no longer activates the battery...

Hi, I'm just adding my history with the yellow borders and screen replacement as a data point. -Model S P100D - bought Dec 2016 -Screen had yellow border at end of summer 2017. Service replaced the screen under warranty, no questions asked (invoice attached) -Replacement screen had yellow...

I have a similar experience with AP2 on 17.17.4: I am driving in the center of a lane on a 4-lane highway. The instrument cluster shows the car in the center of the lane. The lane is straight, there are no upcoming curves or other cars around. I engage autosteer, and the car immediately...

After spraying a bunch of silicone lubricant into my driver's side mirror (couple months ago -- photo earlier in this thread), the mirror has extended every day without a single failure. It's clearly a poorly-designed part, though, and it would be nice to have Tesla replace the existing...

Unfortunately, yes. The custom playlists always show up at the bottom of the page, so I have to scroll down past all the junk. Not a huge deal, though.

Hi all. I just wanted to post about upgrading to Slacker Premium since there is a lot of contradicting information out there. It's easy: Just create a Premium account on the web, and then click the "log in with your own account" button at the bottom of the Streaming page in the car's center...

I don't have any problems with streaking or residue on the chrome.

I applied a generous amount of silicone spray lubricant to the pivot area, and have not had a problem since. There is a felt pad on the underside of the moving section that presumably prevents rattling noise, but also increases friction in the mechanism. The silicone soaks into the felt and...

Yes, exactly. I created the poll because I wanted to see the real data. I really enjoy my car, but surprisingly, reading this forum often makes me feel worse about owning it! The reason is that many threads are problem-related, and then everyone piles on the comments, and it sounds like all...

My P100D occasionally fails to fully extend the driver's side mirror. I brought it in for service, and they replaced the mirror. It worked for a month, but now occasionally fails to extend. I'll probably just leave them extended, as it seems to be a fully defective feature, which is...

I posted a video about my project in which I use a Raspberry Pi to display realtime CAN bus data in the car's own web browser. Let me know if you have any questions. -Ben Shortcut to the links: I show how to collect detailed CAN bus data from a Tesla Model S, and display it in the car's...

I don't have access to a P85DL, but I'm working on building a low-cost CAN bus logger that is specifically made for Tesla perf data. If it's easy to build and distribute, I can start sending them to other enthusiasts for more data collection. I believe all of the P100D's are ludicrous. I added...

Wikipedia says 3.1 seconds 0-60 for the P85D insane (Tesla Model S - Wikipedia). This number almost certainly includes the 1-foot rollout, so the true 0-60 is probably very close to 3.3, which is what I measured. Ludicrous shortens it to 2.8 (with rollout). The 0-60 numbers sometimes do not...

I've had the chance to log some 0-60mph perf data from the CAN bus with an oscilloscope on a P85D insane, and P100D ludicrous+. Both tests were done with max battery ready and SoC at 85%. Ambient temp 50*F. 21" wheels. P100DL+ limits to 1830A, and battery voltage sags from 390V to about...
